Ludo

Roll the dice and try to move your pieces across the board before competitors do

This is a board game where players try to get their pieces home before competing players.

-Game Mechanics

∙ Roll the dice.

∙ Move one of your pieces the number shown on the face of the die.

∙ If you have multiple pieces on the board you can only move one of them.

∙ If you do not have a piece which is able to move the displayed number of moves then you are skipped and the next player gets to roll the dice.

-Rolling a 6

∙ If you roll a six you get to movie a piece six spaces and roll again.

∙ You must roll a six to move pieces out of the starting area and onto the board.

-Enemies

∙ If you land on an enemy piece they have to start that piece from the beginning of the game.

∙ If an enemy lands on your piece then you have to set that piece at the beginning of the board.

-Player configurations

∙ This game can have 2 to 4 concurrent players.

∙ You can select which color you want to play and make any of the competing players be computer or human.

∙ If you select human then those are other players sharing your computer with you.

-Strategy

∙ If a player is in the lead it makes sense to try to knock their pieces off the board.

∙ If a player still has pieces that have yet to enter the board it can make sense to leave your pieces just before their entry point and work on your other pieces until you have a high roll like a 6 that moves your piece well past their entry to the board.

-Completion

∙ The game ends when one of the players gets all 4 of their pieces home.
